More than half of the 20 LH employees suspected of speculation were found to have bought land while Minister Byun Chang-heum was the president of LH.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said that even Minister Byeon Chang-heum cannot be free from responsibility.

As a result, Minister Byeon said he would release all the incentives he had received when he was president, but the criticism that he had to withdraw from his job is growing.

<Reporter> As a



result of a thorough investigation by the government, 11 out of 20 LH employees who requested an investigation were revealed that Minister Byun Chang-heum made a suspicious deal of speculation while serving as LH President.



Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun officially brought out the responsibility of Minister Byun.



[Sae-Kyun Jeong/Prime Minister: (Chang-Hum Byun) I don't think the Minister can be free from responsibility.

We will consider what kind of action is needed.] The



Blue House is still negative about the ministerial stance, but a subtle change is detected in the ruling party.



Former Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon said that he firmly believes that Minister Byeon is not a person who is obsessed with the position, and former Minister of Public Administration and Security Kim Bu-gyeom urged him to resign, saying that this was what happened when he was the president.



Minister Byeon sent a text message to reporters on the way through the spokesperson's office on the afternoon of the 11th.



It was said that Minister Byun was willing to give back or donate the entire amount of incentives to society when he was president of LH.



He received an A grade in the management evaluation last year and received a bonus of at least 79 million won for three years from last year.



The people's strength criticized the government for taking out a donation trick as the public's anger grew, and the Justice Party also urged the resignation, saying that it was questionable whether the minister, far away from the public eye, would eradicate real estate speculation.



With the opposition offensive and movements in the passport concerned about the bad news of next month's by-election, Byun Chang-heum's Gyeongjil theory is likely to spread significantly.
